BreakingGM responds to Trump

General Motors has responded to Donald Trump's remarks about ending subsidies following its job cut and plan closure announcement on Monday.

The company said it is "committed to maintaining a strong manufacturing presence" in the US.

"Many of the US workers impacted by these actions will have the
opportunity to shift to other GM plants where we will need more employees to
support growth in trucks, crossovers and SUVs. GM’s transformation also
includes adding technical and engineering jobs to support the future of
mobility, such as new jobs in electrification and autonomous vehicles".
